摘      要：The prediction of embankment settlement is a critically important issue for the serviceability of subgrade projects,especially the post-construction settlement.A number of methods have been proposed to predict embankment settlement;however,all of these methods are based on a parameter,*** initial time *** difference of the initial time point determined by different designers can de?nitely induce errors in prediction of embankment *** paper proposed a concept namedpotential settlementand a simpli?ed method based on the in situ *** key parameterbin the proposed method was veri?ed using theoretical method and?eld ***,an example was used to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method by comparing with other methods and the observation data.
